It is the smaller divided by the bigger. For 5 and 17, the 5 is 5/17 of the 17.
A fraction is normally used to represent a value is less that 1. So if you have 1 of a number and then find something that is less than 1 of it, it is naturally going to be smaller. However, you can also have a fraction that is greater than 1, in which case the value multiplied will be greater than the original.
Add a positive number - fraction or integer - to the given fraction.
The ratio
No because the smallest fraction depeneds on how many parts you have for instance if the denominator is larger the fraction is smaller
It is an improper fraction when the numerator is greater than the denominator
No, because there is an infinite number of possibilities smaller from the larger gives
There is no fraction that has a least value since it is always possible to find another fraction that is smaller.
Always: 1/(x +1 ) is smaller than 1/x
no, because there is an infinite number of possibilities
when its a irregular shape you divide it up
If the numerator is less than the denominator then the fraction is less than 1.
You have to break the figure into smaller parts.Then add all the sides together.
